“There Is Always Hope”

"Art of Love"
Book

ORDER

To be hopeful is to know that positive changes are underway. This strong mental state may be difficult at first to sustain when I am imbalanced by the disillusion of life’s challenges. I may have vague memories of moments feeling hopeless as I grieved.

Bounded tight, a generation created in suffrages, leaving hope as my only need. I realized that hope and worry cannot coexist. Rather, my tears had asked the questions instead, leading me away from despair.
​When I am experiencing hopelessness, there is more room for me to grow. I will need to consider that I am not in control of the outside elements that may potentially disallow hope as a way to my enlightenment. However, I will reassure that to walk in belief, trust, and faith I cannot be lead astray.

There is a spark within me searching fervently for even a steady glimmer. I can source this needed element by my willingness to tune in to other survivors who are feeling and experiencing a sense of hopefulness and know that it does exist.
​Even if I cannot believe it, hope can return. I will persevere. All I can do is hold on to positive reflections because I know that it’s coming. This cycle of hope and growth, I will forever endeavor to be accepting and understanding of myself as I move through these necessary phases.

​Don’t wait until your thirsty to go for a drink of Water! As stated by Holistic Practitioners, the suggested daily intake is half the body weight in ounces. So if your weight is 150lbs, and half of that is 75, then you are required to drink 75floz of water daily. Depending on how active you are throughout the day, you may need to drink even more water.

The most important food for our body system is water because it makes up 70% of every cell in our bodies. It is the prime life force that is needed for everyone to be in good health. It plays a vital role in all bodily functions. The body uses water for digestion, tissue building, absorption, cleansing and transporting of nutrients. It dilutes body waste by decreasing waste’s toxicity and aids in the expel of waste from the body and so much more.
​
Yet drinking the daily recommended amount of water could be a challenge no matter how simple it may appear to be. If the proper water intake is not given, the body will adhere to dehydration and toxicity. In this case, a toxic body is a resting place for disease and ailments, and that which water can disrupt on a subatomic level.

Usually, urine will be pale yellow if the body is sufficiently hydrated and a key factor for a measure of an adequate amount of water intake.

​1. Make it Convenient

If you’re too busy, make hydration convenient for you! If having difficulty with large amounts at a sitting, try drinking a small amount of H20 at a time every couple of hours . For instance, drink 4oz every couple of hours of free and clear water. Place a pitcher or water bottle conveniently on your desk or a refillable bottle easy to reach. Something that will suit your lifestyle as appealing, so that you’re more likely to fit it in your routine.

Check local WATER Department to find out how it’s being treated, the rating in cleanliness, and/or with Environmental reporters from the Newspaper if tap water is your better water source.​

WATER SOURCES;

Tap WATER- comes out of household taps or faucets and is generally obtained either from surface water or groundwater. Surface water has run off from ponds, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, and is collected in reservoirs. Groundwater is filtered through the ground and extracted via well

Regardless of the original source of ​tap H2O, it is susceptible to a number of harmful chemicals and inorganic minerals in the body that cannot be used

Bottled Water- about 25% of bottled water comes from the same water supplies that flow into the same areas of household taps

You will need to read the water source noted on the bottle to confirm its quality

Artesian Water- is water drawn from a well where the water is brought to the surface by a natural pressure or flow

Deionized Water- this process removes nitrates and the minerals calcium and magnesium, in addition to heavy metals cadmium, barium, lead, mercury, and some forms ofradi​ological contaminants.

Mineral Water- containing not less than 250 parts per million total dissolved solids, originating from a geologically and physically protected underground water source or spring. Distinguished by constant levels and relative proportions of minerals and trace elements as its source, allowing for seasonal variations

Natural Spring Water- an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth

The location of the spring must be identified on the label of any water labeled as spring water

With regular and daily endurance your body is bound to request hydration often. As you work out more frequently, you will begin to notice how H2O is an essential substance, and more importantly, a vital part of your daily routine. As you do this, your body will signal you to drink H2O avidly.
​
In one hour of exercise, the body can lose more than a quarter of its water; without an adequate amount of water the body will lack energy and your muscles may cramp. By drinking water before, during, and after exercise the heart functions better and muscles are in tune with the exercise. Failure to replenish the water lost during exercise can result in the body’s electrolyte imbalance. Drinking 2 cups of water before, in between 4 to 6 ounces every 15-20 minutes, and post workout as much of what was lost will sustain internal balance keeping you hydrated without any question nor concern.

Consider these tips as life-sustaining, but It doesn’t have to be a hassle. The consumption of sufficient water intake is a priority in order to engage in healthy habits. Make hydration work for you as nourishing and convenient, that which it is always available for work or between rest. Activate your thirst sensor with daily exercises, and become consciously aware of the body’s need for fruits/vegetables to stay hydrated. Besides, despite popular demand,WATERdoes the BODY GOOd!Thank you again for staying in tuned to reality in consciousness on this week’s segment on “3 Simple Ways to Drink More Water!”Reality in Consciousness begins at the very moment as the work is placed forth by your intent to grow and change for the betterment of self, aiding in the improvement of mankind!

​“Today I Embrace My Talents”

Every time that someone gives a praise or acknowledges one of my talents, I may discover myself wanting to downgrade the comment. I may feel uneasy, anxious, shame, pain, or fear.

Instead of harboring those emotions, I need to accept that all these feelings are normal and completely okay, given my history of abuse. As a little girl, my guardians were not able to recognize my talents and may have consciously done their best to suppress any recognition of my positive contributions in life.

This is exactly how my abusers were able to ensure that I experience the continuance state of detriment to carry their shame. Indeed, I was a prisoner in my own mind and body.

Today I am aware and can see my talents. I will experience my emotions with a greater understanding and return those that do not belong to me, but to the rightful owners. In this way, I can begin to reclaim my natural brilliance.

I deserve to feel gratitude and self-regard from what I was born with, holistically. I can embrace all that is one-of-a-kind and uniquely instilled within me. This may be a gradual process, and I will be aware throughout, knowing that there will be static before love and acceptance can be felt.

​The way that I’ve always had seem to recall, during the holiday season, there are just only two avenues around this time of year that a sexual abuse survivor might consider. Number one; proceed to all your festivities unconsciously prepared as a guest, (because no one has seen your darling face for a while). Or number two; steer far away from unnecessary triggers by following these 5 Holiday-WellnessTips for a Sexual Abuse Survivor!

​My guide and post for this time of year and everything else in between is to only engage with those who respect me as an individual, but I’ve come to learn that this may not always be the “right” approach toward holiday traditions, like the ones you can readily ignore.

These special 5 Holiday-WellnessTips for a Sexual Abuse Survivor is a way to arrive at those customary events as Survivor, internally gleaming with strength, protection, and perseverance that one or more can acquire a knowledge of.

​As a sexual abuse survivor, you will need to “gear-up” and initiate a plan of action. Don’t just show up like, “I’m here, let’s get this over with”, but first develop a plan for your visits during the holiday! You will need to “get your mind right” first with meditation. According to source, “meditation refers to a family of self-regulation practices that focus on training attention and awareness in order to bring mental processes under greater voluntary control and thereby foster general mental well-being and development and/or specific capacities such as calm, clarity, and concentration (RogerWalsh & Shauna L. Shapiro 2006).”

​During this practice, you may repeat any befitting affirmation to refocus your mind such as, “I Am Present in the Now” or “I Affirm the Courageousness of My Daily Actions.” If you’re a more visual person this is a great source too. So then, utilize your visualization skill throughout meditation as you will be affirming the selected pictures out loud from a vision board or derived from your keen imagination. Experience the subsequent emotion, like peace or joy, etc. in response to the images during meditation. Then, complete your predetermined, visualized outcome of the holiday get- together that suits you. You should do this routine in the morning or before bed a few times before the visits, but make it work for you! Get creative and develop or create images to your likings, such as angels, saints, or ascendant masters surrounding you in protection from a vision board or just use your powerful imagination. Form your plan before attending holiday events with a practiced meditation and stay prepared for better holidays.

2.Get Support

​This second tip is surprisingly one that is the most forgotten about amongst sexual abuse survivors. At your major or minor holiday event with relatives and/or friends, get support before you appear! Begin now, and trust one appointed holiday attendee that you can speak directly with about your fear, worry, or level of comfort in regards to the specialized family affair. It could be your spouse, close relative or friend that you may confide in for this holiday season. Use this time to get real and maybe even brutally honest. As a sexual abuse survivor, a long explanation on how you feel is unnecessary, furthermore, it isn't owed to anyone, so keep your mission short and precise. What’s more important is to receive the support just in case the exit becomes your safe haven.

​Oh boy, there are a lot of delicate topics to go around for more than two lifetimes, but for this holiday season, do yourself a favor and take this opportunity for the perfect time to completely “zone out”. For the present concerns of today, sensitive topics like the “Me too” movement or the never-ending sight of the zillion sex scandals should be avoided as a sexual abuse survivor at this time. For one, these subjects can easily lead to unavoidable triggers, and two, the mere fact that a stranger’s sexual abuse case is easily discussed out in the open during the holidays while in the midst of a niece, cousin, or uncle who’s been potentially victimized seems like a crude farce to say the least. Do not engage in sensitive topics! Stay positive and steer clear away from them all; Use this time to think about what you’re eating. Slow down the chewing process of your food, increase your awareness to what herbs or special seasoning that was used during the cook time, and finally direct your attention to the food being properly digested into your system. As a sexual abuse survivor, always focus on shifting your awareness from sensitive topics to a form of enlightenment, as the holiday season is for cheer and a year of closure.

4. Focus On Gratitude

After all, the reason why we come together for the holidays is to celebrate life. This may be difficult as a sexual abuse survivor in the presence of unhappy people. Nevertheless, remind yourself of the reason why you have chosen to be present amongst others at this time. A good point of reference to remember is the guidance of the inner-self. The strong-willed force backed up by your encouragement to restore balance with gratitude. We know of it by the name self-talk for it is also referred to as intrapersonal communication. Our ability to talk to ourselves and think in words is a major part of the human experience of consciousness. You may want to imprint this natural occurrence with gratitude for the holidays, focusing on life and your individual personal growth.

Never hold your breath, but always remember to breathe through all circumstances in life. Sometimes as a sexual abuse survivor, you might even need to take mini breaks from visiting during the holidays and this is only natural. Go outside and breathe slow and deep for a moment, giving thanks to your ability to do so. Make an excuse to use the restroom because of all that water you’d been “downing” today. No matter the excuse, listen to your body if experiencing a sensation of feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Slow and deep breathing is a sure way to alleviate stressors and converge to homeostasis. You don’t always have to talk the night away at holiday visits but to remain in charge of your organic breath as a survivor.

Thankyouagain for visiting myBlogPage as we come together for“I Can Relax and Let Go”from this multiple part series onAffirmations for a Sexual Abuse Survivor Part27.

The length of this series, which is set for 52 weeks is for you to become more familiar with your strengths and weaknesses as a sexual abuse survivor. While I encourage everyone to go at their own pace & to know that the doors will always remain open for questions as a community or individually. All the while, the work to Cleanse & Heal will begin within you just as in the traditional settings of nature.

​“I Can Relax and Let Go”

Even while healing, there are and will be somedays when potentially everything will appear to go wrong. Emotions and situations connect to create what I might label an “insignificant day”. It may be that on those days I am experiencing stress by strain, and learning to relax with the divine flow of life and letting go of specific outcomes will suppress any difficulties.

I may somehow have adopted once again in old survivor thought and behavioral habits which demand that I attempt to take control. Controlling was the natural reaction to the traumatic loss of safety I felt during my abuse, and it rapidly became instrumental in my lifestyle. I understand now at one point; it was necessary to revert back to this familiar reality in order to feel safe.
​
​ Meanwhile, relaxing and letting go will probably seem like I am not protecting myself and it may also seem completely foreign and unsafe. To relax and let go means that I’ll have to rely upon or seek trust outside of myself; Know through a trust that I’ll be taken care of; That I’ll be safe.

This new reality will begin to adhere as patience of practice in abundance. I can start by letting go of small instances whenever I receive mail today or how long it would take to reach a particular destination. I can eventually move on to more difficult situations like letting go of something that can be replaced, the outcome of an interview, a relationship that has run its course, or how some plans may turn out.
​

As I practice this art of relaxing and letting go, I will discover just how much easier my life has become with less tension and additional optimistic thought forms. I will gainfully accept more freedom and will to honor this method of choice.

Where “controlled” ways to relax have failed in the past, I will discover that letting go is the ultimate ease of life. It is good to know that I am not in charge of the universal circumstances of today. I only need to know that I can trust the results to a source greater than myself.

"It is Easier to Build up a Child that it is to Repair an Adult"
Healthy Place

​~Reality in Consciousness

At this very moment, your health and lifestyle are directly guided by the growth and development stemmed from childhood teachings. Both positive or negative have an enormous influence on future lifelong health with the right set of circumstances or a callous victimization mindset.
​

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that the more stressors that an individual have experienced in their childhood are more likely to develop physical and emotional ailments in their adulthood. Traumatic episodes such as sexual abuse, mental illness in a parent, divorce, neglect, and domestic violence are linked to chronic related stress and obstacles. Chronic related stressors in the form of obesity and/or heart disease are responsible for a premature death that becomes a reality sooner than later.

As of recently and further acclaimed by Dr. Nadine Burke MD, who founded and is the charge of the Center for Youth Wellness in San Francisco, California has spent over the years treating chronic stress and increasing awareness of childhood traumatic effects on long-term health, medically identified as Adverse Childhood Experiences. Here you may read the full extent of these findings at NY Times,or 2015 Ted Talk.

​Conditions that Correspond to Body System Functions and Organs:

As stated by Naturopaths, most men and women function on an energy level full of emotional imbalance in life and sometimes are inclined to exist in one or two emotions that are present in their overall image, like anger or jealousy.

Many emotions that prohibit growth come from things that happened to us in the past that we have not faced or let go of. People walk through life hiding their true emotions to secure their feelings of safety because they have been taught by others to not show emotions that others consider inappropriate (Akua, 2010).

In Holistic Health, we relate our biochemical function made up of “emotions” to the effects of the body (brain matter). As you will see below how both positive and negative emotions lead to the functionality of our Organs.

Once emotions are expressed, a healthy person is able to move forward without damaging their physical bodies with emotional baggage (Akua, 2010). Think about it, these individuals are searching for acceptance of their feelings of love and security in order to rebuild self-esteem. They are also searching to find a way to express their deep, inner emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

It begins with you. Commence with a greater sense of awareness of the inspiring attributes or deafening ailments which were passed on in mirror images of the self. With this information, childhood trauma does not have to comprise your continued growth as an adult in an unhealthy manner.
